The 7-minute film opens with the housewife serving her husband a glass of milk and waffles. Dissatisfied with the limited amount of maple syrup, the husband lashes out with derogatory language. The entire film is intercut with the husband drunk at a bar with his friends – where he denounces his wife and modern women in general. Despite showcasing 4 characters throughout, all dialogue is limited to the husband – aiding the antagonist’s tyranny. The wife is portrayed by a male actor (Jamie Stark) with a diminished personality and a porcelain (doll-like) appearance.
